Case Study: Expedient Data Centers achieves scalable, application-aware, hardware-agnostic data protection with Commvault Simpana

Expedient Data Centers Find True Partnership with Commvault Software

Expedient Data Centers, a Pittsburgh-based cloud hosting and managed services provider with 11 datacenters and more than 2.5 PB under management, needed a data protection partner that fit a service‑provider business model—offering scalability, application-aware protection, hardware‑agnostic storage support and licensing, support and marketing designed for recurring monthly services.

Commvault’s Simpana software provided application‑aware backups (VMware, Hyper‑V, SQL, Exchange, Oracle, AD), built‑in deduplication and broad storage compatibility plus service‑provider licensing and dedicated sales/support/marketing. The result: more reliable backups, optimized storage and bandwidth, an ongoing customer migration to Simpana, and the operational partnership Expedient needs to meet SLAs while sustaining rapid (120% YoY) growth.
